<DIV><SPAN class=484360720-07022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I see
your second option as they way to solve the first option.&nbsp; This doesn't
make them two different problems.&nbsp; It seems to me that maybe
management/monitoring through the firewall is the charter and using SOAP and XML
in a device is the scope/requirement on how to do this.&nbsp; Of course, for
legacy devices with SNMP, there will need to be a proxy to handle this.&nbsp;
I'm not sure that I'm using the terminology for scope and requirement correctly
but this is how I see the problem resolved.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Differences<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I'd like to
try and resolve some of the (unfortunate) differences we are having regarding
Charter, Scope, Requirements. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>From
what I can decipher, there is a well established interest in solving the
problem "I've been getting at my (device) &nbsp;management data remotely,
within my enterprise just fine... but, now, how can I access it across the
firewall" (maybe to provide services to multiple enterprises etc.).
</FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Others also want to solve... "...
and what is the standard protocol and data model that lends itself to the web
services environment that may be employed by proxy servers and/or directly in
the embedded device".</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Of course,
we will have legacy SNMP devices to manage for quite some time but I don't
think the current existence of SNMP is the answer to the 2nd question.
